Ashton, I thought it was going to lead to some grand patio or balcony but was only a mini porch with doorways to the little living quarters.
Nobody was around except a cleaning woman (winter break). However, elsewhere on campus (Claremont Colleges) people were enjoying the day on the Marston Quad. I took this as a quick DSLR grab shot so as not to alarm the dog walkers, and threw on some artsy in post. I like the way the people balance each other out.
Satellite view shows the location, looking south toward Little Bridges auditorium from Stover Walk.
PS: People often sit on this lawn but yuck (dog pee...).
